Miko's eyes also lit up as she took the two books.
These were the things she was supposed to be learning, the previous book was too high above her level. Once she learned this, she would be able to use magic.
This was legendary stuff, the key to the world's truth was in her hands. Moreover, once she learned it, she could easily deal with other spirits.
Miko eagerly read the books she had just received.
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me or Rias."
"Mhm."
Miko nodded repeatedly, then quickly immersed herself in the sea of knowledge.
Sona sat for a while before returning to the Student Council to handle official business. Her Peerage members did not disturb her. They all left the research department to attend to their own matters.
Only Rias, Akeno, and Abel, who was resting his head on Akeno's lap, remained.
After a while, Abel recovered from his emotional state and left Akeno's soft lap pillow.
He troubled Akeno to help him brew another cup of black tea, and then he drank it to his heart's content.
However, very quickly, Rias's pupils contracted. It was as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
She saw the demonic power in Miko's body begin to flow, as if it were a part of her body. Slowly, she went from being unfamiliar at first to gradually becoming proficient.
This scene stunned Rias.
When she and Sona were children, it took them at least a day or two to learn this. How did this girl grasp it so quickly just by reading and exploring on her own?
Miko put down the book in her hand, picked up the Teleportation Magic Guide, and continued reading.
Rias leaned closer to Abel and whispered, "Abel, I'm a little envious of your luck."
Abel said, waving his hand, "Hehe, just a coincidence,"
"Ah!"
Just then, Miko suddenly exclaimed, and everyone's eyes turned to her in unison.
"What's wrong?"
"I think I've learned teleportation magic."
"Eh!"
Rias was stunned, this girl was simply a genius.
Looking at Miko, Rias suddenly had an urge to abduct someone.
Miko circulated the demonic power within her body, and a simple magic circle appeared beneath her feet, followed by a faint glow emanating from her body.
The next second, she disappeared from her original spot and then appeared on another sofa. However, she seemed to be completely drained. She slumped back onto the sofa, limp.
After all, she had only become a devil yesterday, and the demonic power in her body wasn't much. This was already very good.
Clap... Clap..
Abel clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, worthy of being my Peerage."
Miko weakly asked, "What... what's wrong with me?"
Rias took a sip of her black tea and said, "It's your first time learning magic, and you just reincarnated as a devil yesterday. Your demonic power has been depleted."
Miko asked, "Then what should I do?"
"Of course, you need to replenish your demonic power."
"Replenish demonic power?"
"Mhm."
Facing Miko's questions, Rias patiently answered, which made Abel feel as if Miko was Rias's Peerage.
Rias pulled Abel over to Miko's side, with a look that said, "You're getting a good deal."
"Go replenish your Peerage's demonic power."
Abel said, feigning shyness, "Shouldn't we ask for her opinion first?"
"Get out of here."
Rias slapped Abel on the back, and Abel let out an "ouch."
Miko was a little confused.
Wasn't it just replenishing demonic power? Could it be that they had to kiss?
Abel came to Miko and looked at her, asking, "Are you ready to replenish your demonic power?"
Miko nodded in agreement without thinking. "I'm ready."
"You said it."
Miko, who thought it was normal replenishment, was initially very excited, but as Abel got closer and closer, a thought popped into her mind.
It couldn't really be kiss-based replenishment, could it?
Just as she was about to express her confusion, Abel pinched her chin and covered her mouth.
It really was!
This... my first kiss just went like that?
At this moment, the room was extremely quiet.
Abel's demonic power was transmitted from his body to Miko's body through the kiss.
The next second, Miko's eyes widened and then became hazy.
A certain someone was being aggressive.
At the same time, the output of demonic power was constantly increasing.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Abel looked at Miko and said, "Thank you for the hospitality."
Miko wanted to punch him, but her whole body felt soft.
Just as she was fuming, her face red, wanting to lash out but lacking the strength, Rias teased, "Abel, you're too proactive."
Akeno covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Miko was both embarrassed and annoyed. She hadn't expected demonic power replenishment to be done this way.
At this moment, Miko felt that her body was filled with demonic power again.
She stood up, pointed at Abel, and loudly said, "You... you have to take responsibility!"
Abel said, spreading his hands, "You're my Peerage, of course I'll take responsibility."
He then continued seriously, "And I already said yesterday, you're already my possession, so I can't give you to anyone else."
Miko's face turned even redder as she listened to Abel's words. At this moment, this girl was completely under Abel's control.
In fact, there are many ways to replenish demonic power: natural recovery, absorbing magic crystals, and so on.
But the fastest and most efficient way to replenish demonic power is through physical contact between two people. The more intimate the contact, the faster the replenishment.
So, for Miko, kissing Abel was the fastest way to restore her demonic power.
Now, Miko's demonic power was very abundant and she could continue learning magic.
Rias took out a few basic magic books and handed them to Miko.
Miko gladly accepted them.
Time passed bit by bit, and the moon once again appeared in the sky.
Abel teleported Miko near her home. Then he explained the common sense of the supernatural world on the devil's side to Miko.
"Miko, say goodbye to your friends this week. I will arrange for you to transfer to Kuoh Academy during this time."
"Mhm, I understand."
"Also, don't just throw away that card you used to summon me. If you encounter danger, just inject demonic power into it, and you can summon me."
"And also..."
Abel said a lot of things to Miko. For example, don't go to places with few people at night. You might encounter stray devils, or people from the Church that hunt devils, as well as Fallen Angels, and so on.
The current Miko was still an intern devil, without self-preservation abilities. She might be eliminated by the Church, or she might be eliminated by Fallen Angels.
Miko listened carefully and firmly remembered everything.
